Turf Saver® RTF® is the most advanced,
unique tall fescue blend on the market.
Featuring a unique combination of high quality
turf-type tall fescues and RTF varieties, Turf Saver
RTF is a problem solver. Providing the benefits
of rhizomes not found in any other tall fescue
varieties, Turf Saver RTF has the ability to quickly
fill in damaged and bare spots in your lawn with
new shoots of grass. This results in less over-
seeding, fewer weed problems and no wide-leafed
ugly clumps of grass like other tall fescues can
form.
The technology behind Turf Saver RTF is protected
with a US patent, #6677507. Its value over
traditional tall fescue varieties is substantial.

Rhizomes to the Rescue!Rhizomes are valued because they
send out new tillers underground
which emerge several inches away
from the mother plant. Our patented
RTF has the highest amount of rhizome
activity. Other varieties produce very
few short rhizomes, while our RTF
produces numerous long rhizomes.
The graph below shows the difference
researchers found between Turf Saver
RTF and others. Designed to factor in
the percentage of plants that make
rhizomes; the cultivar rhizomatous
index is derived by multiplying
the number of rhizomes times the
percentage of plants with rhizomes
and the rhizome length. Multiplying
the traits together in a single
mathematical index helps to identify
the true rhizomatous plants from the
others. When you put it all together,
Turf Saver RTF is in a class of its own.
